Please, let me be a fool

Chapter 20 The Terrible Emperor's Heart Technique
"You mean, the queen blows the pillow wind?"

"That's why Song Gongwen was promoted to seven ranks in a row and entered the cabinet?"

Zhao Lingying heard the words, and immediately continued: "Even though I haven't met the Queen a few times, I have heard of her reputation. I think she would not do such a thing."

Generally speaking, queens and concubines, if there is no special relationship, are equivalent to natural enemies.

Especially in today's harem, there are only two people.

They will definitely try every means to compete for grace.

But Zhao Lingying is very proud and doesn't bother to do this kind of thing at all.

At the same time, because of Queen Song Youwei's virtuousness, she is well-known throughout the capital.

So she deduced that the other party would definitely not do such a thing, and besides, His Majesty and the Queen have no emotional basis.

Even if it's the wind from the pillow, I'm afraid it won't blow up.

What's more, the position of cabinet bachelor.

Where can I come here in a sentence or two?
"But Your Majesty, why did you suddenly promote Mr. Song?" Cui Guo still didn't understand. The queen didn't speak. It's not his turn either.

"You don't understand, this is His Majesty's brilliance." Zhao Lingying said with a smile: "Nowadays, the court officials are basically the team left by the late emperor."

"Although there are no major problems, among them, there is no one from His Majesty, especially the cabinet, which is headed by Zhang Zhengming."

"I admit that Zhang Zhengming is indeed a famous official in the world, with great ability, but his power is too great and his prestige is too high."

"However, such a person can easily threaten the imperial power. This is something that every monarch does not want to see."

"And Song Gongwen is the head of the state, with a special status. When he enters the cabinet, he can restrain Zhang Zhengming."

"In the imperial court, if His Majesty wants to hold great power, he must have his own talents."

Zhao Lingying continued: "And there is a more important point, that is, His Majesty's promotion of Song Gongwen may also have a reason to balance the power of foreign relatives."

Balance the power of foreign relatives?Isn't that.
Cui Guo couldn't help but said: "The power of the relatives of the imperial court, could it be my Shenwuhou Mansion?"

In the current Great Wei Dynasty, the Sun family to which the Empress Dowager belongs has no official in the court.

So the only foreign relatives are the Song family and the Zhao family of Shenwuhoufu.

"Naturally." Zhao Lingying replied: "My Zhao family has made meritorious service for generations and has made great contributions to the founding of the country. Its prestige in the army is unmatched. If this is the case, it will definitely arouse His Majesty's jealousy. Therefore, Song Gongwen's entry into the cabinet will also contain my Zhao family. move."

"Ah, so, isn't my Shenwuhou Mansion very dangerous?"

Cui Guo was in a hurry, being feared by the emperor would have serious consequences.

She lived in the Hou's Mansion since she was a child, and she has received many favors, and her mother treated her like a sister, so of course she was flustered.

"There are indeed some dangers." Zhao Lingying thought for a while, and then said: "But as long as father and elder brother have no second thoughts about the court and His Majesty, there is nothing else, the most is to take back some military power, it's okay."

"Is it okay to take back the military power? Madam, you said that." Cui Guo was speechless for a moment.

For a family of military generals, military power is so important. If it is taken back, it will basically be abolished.

"Cuiguo, you are still too superficial." Zhao Lingying shook her head, and said earnestly: "You can't just look at the problem from your own point of view, from your majesty's point of view, it must be like this, if I were your majesty, I would do the same Do it, this is what a qualified emperor should do!"

"Besides, for a family of military generals, without military power, it can be exchanged for a lifetime of stability and prosperity, isn't it a blessing?"

"It's not like you don't know, how many tragic deeds are there in the vast history books?"

Hearing this, Cui Guo lowered her head and didn't speak, knowing that this was a normal thing.

Just like what the empress said, a noble family can live a stable life.

Such an ending can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end.

As for Zhao Lingying.

But looking outside the door of the imperial study room, thoughtful.

In fact, from the very beginning, she did not understand or understand why His Majesty would do this, but after careful consideration.

Combined with the past few days, after reading those books on the way of governing the country, I quickly understood.

I know that any wise emperor will do this, and it can be summed up in two words.

checks and balances!

It seems that I still have a lot to learn from His Majesty.

Zhao Lingying finally understood that sentence.

You can't just look at one side of everything.

Terrible, is it the emperor's mind trick mentioned in the book?
She couldn't help shivering, feeling that His Majesty's methods were too powerful.

Dusk hour.

A corner of the palace.

Wang Jin, who was on shift, returned to her residence.

He sat on the main seat and looked at the dozens of little eunuchs in front of him: "Although you have the shortest time with me, the foundation is very clean. So starting today, our family will officially entrust you with a new task. That is, to monitor every move of all the officials of the imperial court."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the little eunuchs below turned pale immediately, and their calves were spinning.

They were all sent to the palace since childhood, and they have long been used to being slaves and handmaidens.

A court official is a very important person to everyone.

Monitor these people, do you want to die?
Soon, a little eunuch came out and said tremblingly: "Eunuch Wang, I'm afraid this is not possible?"

"We are all incomplete eunuchs. Those court officials are all powerful and powerful. How can we monitor them?"

The other eunuchs also nodded quickly, telling them to chew their ears.

So they said one by one, or they couldn't do it at all.

Or fear of being beaten to death.

However, Wang Jin seemed to have expected this, and said with a smile immediately: "Our family knows what you are worried about. It is nothing more than fear of getting into trouble, but what if our family tells you that His Majesty wants us to do this matter?"

This matter, His Majesty asked us to do it?

When everyone present heard this, their eyes widened.

If so, it is not that they are afraid of the minister, but the minister is afraid of them.

"That's right." Wang Jin stood up, glanced around, and then said: "Your Majesty is worried that there will be treacherous people hidden among the ministers, which will threaten the entire court."

"Today, I hinted at our family to monitor them and monitor their every move. Anyone who has a disobedient heart must know everything."

"So don't be afraid of being discovered, because His Majesty will be our most steadfast backer. With His Majesty's backing, what are you afraid of?"

"Everyone, this is a great opportunity!"

Wang Jin knew that he had to let them know that this was an errand for His Majesty.

As long as you are not stupid, you must understand the meaning!
really.

When everyone heard this, their faces were all red.

Doing things for His Majesty, how beneficial will it be in the future?

Regardless of other things, Wang Jin in front of him is the best example.

It is definitely soaring into the sky, and the future is extremely bright.

All present are eunuchs. They have no relatives and no heirs. If you want to get ahead, you must rely on His Majesty the Emperor!
Therefore, everyone can fully understand what the opportunity Wang Jin mentioned means exactly.
